My experience has been that you can use open source software, but security considers that to have a high risk and you need to make a business case for it. What isn’t a security risk? A closed source vendor supplied application that has its headquarters in the US. You can sometimes find pockets of innovation in the defense sector, but it’s mostly filled with bureaucrats with engineer in their title.
